Chapter 384 Yixiu 62
The direction of these words was too obvious. The room suddenly became quiet, and everyone was shocked by Nian Shilan's reckless behavior.
Among the high-ranking concubines sitting there, Concubine Yu was the quickest to react. She immediately understood the pros and cons and was about to speak out to refute, but she was still not as good as the other one.
Noble Lady Nian, who was standing between Concubine Qi and Concubine Yu, seemed to have just realized what was happening. She said in a gentle voice with a look of surprise, "Sister Nian, your temperament hasn't changed at all in all these years since you entered the palace. This shows that the Empress is a model for the whole country and has benefited the six palaces. That's why you ladies have not changed your original intentions after so many years in the palace. You are truly blessed by me."
Concubine Yu looked at the girl with some surprise. She looked like her family and was quite beautiful. She felt a little regretful. She liked her mouth, but it was a pity that she was assigned to Changchun Palace.
Regardless of her thoughts, Concubine Yu, who prided herself on being the Empress's number one lackey, naturally followed suit and continued to defend the Empress. She stood up with a solemn demeanor and said, "The Empress is a model for the whole nation and a true blessing to all the other concubines."
Everyone sitting in their seats stood up and chanted in unison. Concubine Qi, who was a beat late, silently complained in her heart that Concubine Yu was a short-legged lackey who was quick-witted and was the first to flatter the Queen even though she was one rank lower than herself.
He secretly hated himself for being slow to react, and worried that the Queen would take the opportunity to find fault with him.
After a long thought, she looked up and found that the Queen had already dismissed everyone. She sat there for a while, feeling awkward and embarrassed. When she saw the two newcomers who were still waiting for her, she didn't show any smile at all. Instead, she felt that they were making fun of her. "Why are you standing there like a wooden stake? You were so smart just now, weren't you?"
After spraying the two newcomers all over their heads and faces, he felt refreshed. Sitting on the sedan chair, he still said as if to give alms: "Why don't you hurry up and catch up."
Wu curled her lips but didn't dare to say anything. Seeing that Noble Nian was keeping his head down and looking very respectful, she deliberately muttered, "Pretending."
But Xiao Nian didn't even blink, as if she hadn't heard anything, and she didn't forget to remind her: "Sister Wu, if you don't leave now, you will miss it."
After saying that, she followed him. Wu punched like a piece of cotton, and with anger in her stomach, she hurriedly followed him.
On the other side, Guaerjia looked at Concubine Nian who had fallen behind her but had the nerve to bump into her, and she started cursing with her eyes.
Her goal in entering the palace this time was very clear, which was to win favor and have a child. Her family had already analyzed it for her before she entered the palace. The emperor's current harem is composed of old people from the Qiandi Palace, and they are gradually becoming less capable. Only Xinpin is left, and she is pregnant this year.
Therefore, her situation in entering the palace is very good now, and she is basically competing with her peers.
Guaerjia originally thought that this was a matter of course, but she was assigned to Chengqian Palace. The name was nice, the palace was beautiful, and it was very convenient for her to live alone, but... it was a bit far from the Yangxin Palace.
After all, many roads in the Forbidden City have rules. Although the straight-line distance between Chengqian Palace and Yangxin Palace is not the farthest, if she really walks there, she has to pass by Zhongcui Palace, cross the Imperial Garden, and then pass by Chuxiu Palace, Yiku Palace and Yongshou Palace, and almost go around most of the harem before she can get to Yangxin Palace. The same is true for the emperor.
Although with her current status she would definitely take a bus at night and be rolled into a spring roll, it was obvious that her surname would at least lead to her becoming a concubine in the future.
By then, the mistress would be able to serve respectably in her own palace, but what about her? The emperor had to go through a long detour, which was fine, but the key was that he had to pass through Zhongcui Palace...
A concubine entered the palace with the title of noble lady. It is easy to guess that she must have done something to make the emperor dislike her. Looking at Concubine Nian's behavior today, Guaerjia Muning swears with his sharp eyes who have been in his own backyard for many years that this is not a person who can live in peace!
She only hoped that the Emperor didn't dislike Nian to the point of not wanting to see her. Otherwise, she was really afraid that she would deliberately stand in front of the door to annoy the Emperor.
"My lord, are you okay?"
Shi Liu held Mu Ning with a nervous look on her face, and while asking, she bent down and gently brushed off the snow that had accidentally stuck to Mu Ning's cloak.
"Never mind. I see there's still some water stains down there. I'll probably take it off after we get back."
Mu Ning didn't want to cause any more trouble. At the moment, she just wanted to return to her own villa as soon as possible. At least she was the only one there, and her mentally unstable neighbor couldn't break in. So she hurried away with Shi Liu.
The moon was bright and the stars were sparse. Yixiu, who had already washed up, was lying on the bed in her autumn-scented nightgown. Jianqiu was about to remove the curtains when she heard the sound of the Fengluan Chunen carriage passing by. Yixiu asked her curiously, "Whose card did the emperor turn over tonight?"
"The Emperor flipped over the sign for the noble lady from Guarjia."
Nothing new.
Although Yixiu guessed that the emperor would choose the Guaerjia clan, who had the best family background, she saw that the remaining two were as ambitious as anyone else. She was still looking forward to these people being able to show their talent and skills.
I didn’t expect that all the people coming in this time were normal people, alas.
However, thinking of Concubine Nian who had been released, Yixiu immediately covered herself with the quilt and closed her eyes contentedly.
She was quite impressed by Little Pepper's attacking power. With her coming out, the palace would surely become lively sooner or later.
Just as Yixiu guessed, Guarjia Muning, who won the first place, did not get carried away. When she came to pay her respects, she was extremely respectful and humble. She also resolved all the sarcasm of Concubine Qi in a very reasonable way.
Just looking at her dignified and sensible appearance, she doesn't look like a concubine, but more like a wife.
"You two should learn from him. Look at how eloquent he is. No wonder he can please the Emperor."
Seeing that the other party was unmoved, Concubine Qi finally muttered something. Not only were everyone present used to it, but even Nian Xiwen and Wu Yue, who had only been with her for four days, had gotten used to it. They didn't react at all when Concubine Qi used this as an excuse to talk about her, but just nodded in agreement with lowered brows.
"You're saying this, and those who don't know would think Sister Qifei has seen it with her own eyes. Even the Emperor likes people who are articulate, so why is it that Concubine Xin has gained the Emperor's favor over the years?"
At this moment, no one expected that Concubine Nian would actually speak. Even Guarjia Muning, the person involved, was stunned.
Why is she suddenly speaking up for me? Didn't she bump into me and walk away yesterday?
Not knowing what Concubine Nian meant by this sudden move, Guaerjia pretended not to hear and only smiled gently and generously at Concubine Nian and Concubine Wu: "You two sisters are as beautiful as spring flowers and autumn moons, each with their own merits. I am also very envious of you."
"Hypocrisy gone too far is disgusting, what do you think, Queen?"
At this moment, facing Nianpin's unfriendly gaze, Guarjiamuning suddenly realized:
Oh, it turns out that she was not speaking for me just now, but was killing people indiscriminately.
That's good, then she will feel relieved.
